What about a software company founded in Germany by someone who grew up in another country, and accordingly got their education elsewhere? What if that company is a remote company which hires people all over the world, and none of those people benefited from the {education|peace|law enforcement|trust} in Germany? I do agree with you, in principle, that a company is somewhat coupled to the country it was founded in. The exact nature of that coupling, however, is not that simple, I would say. Reality is complicated, I suppose :)

> You need peace, law enforcement, trust in others to lower stress and increase creativity, good teachers and education. This is a great point. The flip side is that if a government fails to deliver those, they have failed their side of the social contract. Then ideally, the citizens they've failed should be able to opt out..
